• Image classification using compression distance 

  Lan, Yuxuan; Harvey, Richard (The Eurographics Association, 2005)

  The normalised compression distance measures the mutual compressibility of two signals. We show that this distance can be used for classification on real images. Furthermore, the same compressor can also operate on derived ...

• Natural Image Matting 

  Hillman, Peter M.; Hannah, John M. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)

  Matte pulling - generating greyscale images which indicate segmentation of images into elements with subpixel accuracy and where blur causes pixels to be a mixture of elements - has received attention in recent years. Many ...

• Linear Hashtable Method and Predicted Hexagonal Search Algorithm with Moments Invariant 

  Wu, Yunsong; Megson, Graham; Nie, Zhengang; Liu, Xuan (The Eurographics Association, 2005)

  This paper presents a novel Linear Hashtable Method Predicted Hexagonal Search (LHMPHS) method for block base motion compensation on the basis of research from previous algorithm. Hashtable is used in video compression. ...

• Automatic Non-Photorealistic Rendering through Soft-Shading Removal: A Colour-Vision Approach 

  Olmos, A.; Kingdom, F. A. A. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)

  This paper presents a non-photorealistic rendering algorithm that produces "stylised-style" images by removing the soft shading from the image and by giving objects extra definition through black outlines. The method of ...

• Regularised Anisotropic Nonlinear Diffusion for Rendering Refraction in Volume Graphics 

  Rodgman, David; Chen, Min (The Eurographics Association, 2005)

  Rendering refraction in volume graphics requires smoothly distributed normals to synthesise good quality visual representations. Such refractive visualisation is more susceptible to noise in the data than visualisations ...

• Merging Graphics and Vision for 3D Face Recognition 

  Bai, Li; Song, Yi (The Eurographics Association, 2005)

  This paper presents a new approach to automatic 3D face modelling from unstructured point cloud data. An efficient B-Spline surface-fitting algorithm is used to obtain an initial parametric surface for each face point cloud ...

• Depth Enhanced Panoramas 

  Bahmutov, Gleb; Popescu, Voicu; Mudure, Mihai; Sacks, Elisha (The Eurographics Association, 2005)

  Depth enhanced panoramas are a practical solution to the difficult problem of inside-looking-out modeling. Depth enhanced panoramas extend color panoramas to support viewpoint translation, while retaining their speed, ...

• A New Framework for Trademark Retrieval Based on Size Functions 

  Cerri, A.; Ferri, M.; Giorgi, D. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)

  We propose a new, effective system for Content Based trademark retrieval, which involves Size Functions. Three different classes of shape descriptors are combined, for a total amount of 25 measuring functions. The evaluation ...

• Visual Recognition of Man-made Materials and Structures in an Office Environment 

  Song, Y. Z.; Town, C. P. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)

  This paper demonstrates a new approach towards object recognition founded on the development of Neural Network classifiers and Bayesian Networks. The mapping from segmented image region descriptors to semantically meaningful ...

• Sensitivity Analysis in Image Synthesis 

  Trujillo, M.; Izquierdo, E. (The Eurographics Association, 2005)

  Intermediate virtual images are used in the evaluation of disparity estimations. The analysis is based on the effect of disparity inaccuracies in the relative quality of virtual images. The peak-signal-to-noise ratio and ...

• Correspondenceless Stereo for 3-D Iris Location 

  Anderson, Tom; Trucco, Emanuele; Razeto, Marco (The Eurographics Association, 2005)

  We present a correspondenceless stereo system locating the circular contour of an iris (limbus) in space, and therefore its 3-D plane. We avoid correspondence search completely by intersecting a bundle of conjugate epipolar ...

• Adaptive Grid Optical Tomography 

  Ihrke, Ivo; Magnor, Marcus (The Eurographics Association, 2005)

  Image-based modeling of semi-transparent, dynamic phenomena is a challenging task. We present an optical tomography method that uses an adaptive grid for the reconstruction of a three-dimensional density function from its ...

• Talking Faces - Technologies and Applications 

  Ostermann, Jörn; Weissenfeld, Axel; Liu, Kang (The Eurographics Association, 2005)

  Facial animation has been combined with text-to-speech synthesis to create innovative multimodal interfaces. In this lecture, we present the technology and architecture in order to use this multimodal interface in an ...

• SVD-Matching using SIFT Features 

  Delponte, Elisabetta; Isgrò, Francesco; Odone, Francesca; Verri, Alessandro (The Eurographics Association, 2005)
